MARY IS THE TOAST OF HIGH SCHOOL HOCKEY WITH A TRIPLE DOSE OF SUCCESS PA GE 31 Group works to free woman from trapped SUV By Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com PICKERING — Police are laud- ing the concerted effort of a group of citizens who worked feverishly to right an SUV that had rolled, trapping the driver’s arm, after a collision in a Pickering parking lot Wednesday morning. “It’s unbelievable,” said Dur- ham police Sergeant Jeff Moore. “The right people, the right place, the right time -- they were willing to step forward.” The drama began around 11:40 a.m. when two vehicles collided in the parking lot of the Sam’s Club store near the intersection of Brock and Kingston roads, police said. The T-bone collision caused a Jeep SUV being driven by a 22-year-old Ajax woman to tip onto the driver’s side, trap- ping her left arm be- tween the vehicle and the pavement. One of those to help was Chris Persaud, the garden centre man- ager at Sam’s Club. He and co- worker Tyler Murray were among the first ones to arrive on the scene. “We looked over and a wom- an’s reaction was ‘Oh what did I do.’ We ran over to see if every- thing was OK. Between Subway and Trade Secrets, an SUV was tipped over on its side,” Mr. Per- saud, a 24-year-old Oshawa resi- dent, said. The woman in the SUV “asked and begged us to get it off her,” Mr. Per- saud stated. About 10 people worked to lift the vehicle and hold it in place until firefighters could arrive and se- cure it. “Our adrenaline was kind of pumping,” he added. “We knew we had to get the girl out. She was screaming. We didn’t know the extent of the damage. My re- action was to get the girl out. I didn’t want to see someone die.” Mr. Persaud rejects any sugges- tion he and the others are heroes, saying, “we were just helping out. We were focusing on helping out. “It was a great team effort. We couldn’t have done what we did without all those people,” Mr. Persaud said. Andrew Boyd said two Kelsey’s co-workers, Sue Hamilton and Josh Pillinger, went to help the victims. He went outside and “I heard the woman screaming. It was pretty awful,” Mr. Boyd stated, adding he called 911 and emer- gency crews arrived a short time later.

It took a while to get her out.” The crash occurred in a laneway out of sight of the shops and stores in the complex, Sgt. Moore said. “Nobody actually witnessed the ac- cident but they heard the collision,” he said. “People came from all over... one guy was having a burger on his lunch break at McDonald’s.” A group of nine men and a woman leapt into action, working together to try and right the SUV. They managed to tip it up enough to free the young woman’s arm but because the vehicle was close to a brick wall couldn’t set it back on its tires -- so they remained in place, holding it up, even after firefight- ers arrived and stabilized the vehicle. Tiffanie Wyer, working at Trade Se- crets, said the “front of the car was completely destroyed. They couldn’t drive it. I saw the car and how badly damaged it was.” During the drama the citizens at- tempted to calm the young woman, who was in a great deal of pain. She was freed from her vehicle and taken to hospital with serious but not life- threatening injuries. It’s the second time in a couple of weeks that citizens have come together to help an accident victim.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com A/P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, May 11, 2007 durhamregion.com Fires are a great part of being outdoors, but can easily get out of control Two stories to illustrate that blazes aren’t to be messed with T oday’s editorial rings true for a number of reasons. I recall being at my friend’s cottage 10 or so summers ago. We were returning from town on a hot, sunny day and saw a fire truck in front of us, siren wailing as it headed to an emergency. We noticed that it took the first turnoff to the cottage. No worries, we each thought to ourself. There’s a few more exits before the cot- tage and surely the fire truck will take one of them. When the truck took the second turnoff, and then the third, we exchanged glances and my buddy remarked, “Maybe the cottage is on fire.” Soon we saw smoke and watched as the fire truck pulled onto a property where the grass was on fire, in addition to the fence surrounding the farm house, which soon enough would be in danger. We pulled over and went to see if we could help. Out there, of course, there’s no fire hydrants and this wasn’t a pumper truck, so it had no water. Instead, all we had to rely upon was the farm’s pump, and believe me it wasn’t exactly gushing water. We eventually extinguished it. The cause was immediately apparent: some- one had been burning debris in a metal drum. While this would seem safe, on this windy day it was not nearly enough to contain the fire. Here’s an admission of which I’m not too proud. In high school, the place to hang out was the Scarborough Bluffs. On Friday and Saturday nights, if you stood on top of the bluffs you would see several fires. On one occasion, four of us were in a park and set a small fire. When we left a few hours later, we had let the fire die down and assumed it was safe to leave it. Yup, we were dead wrong. Returning a few days later, we were shocked to see at least an acre or so scorched to the ground. It might not have been us, but probably was. On a positive note, our un- intentional burn created ideal conditions for growing, and before long the ground was lush and green again. Still, we had screwed up. The point is that fire is not to be un- derestimated. Be safe this spring and summer. Take all necessary precautions when you’re camping or otherwise have a fire. Choose a good spot for your fire, away from brush and trees. Surround your fire pit with rocks and keep an eye on it. Douse it thoroughly before you turn in for the night. Mike Ruta’s column appears every third Friday. E-mail mruta@durhamregion. com. Mike Ruta news editor Do your part to prevent fires Smokers should be especially vigilant W ith spring fully sprung and the start of summer just around the corner, conditions are ripe in Ajax and Pickering for grass fires. Thanks to the damp and fairly cool spring we’ve had so far, the danger isn’t as severe as it has been in some years. But, that’s no reason to assume we’re in the clear. On a recent Friday, a 30-acre blaze in the Townline and Ta unton roads area of Clarington kept firefighters busy for a good part of the afternoon. Two people required medical treatment after attempting to help put out the blaze. A day later, Clarington firefighters had to act fast to quell a fire that almost set part of the Ganaraska Forest ablaze. The majority of such fires are caused by human negli- gence. According to the Ontario Office of the Fire Marshal, there are more than 1,200 wild fires in any given year. They threaten communities, destroy homes and cottages. There are still large sections of Ajax and Pickering that are open fields, forests and farmer’s fields and as such are susceptible to catching fire if an errant spark falls to the ground. We can all help prevent grass fires by being careful when burning grass or debris around homes, farms or cottages and by adhering to local bylaws and provincial fire-burn- ing regulations. A good rule of thumb is if it’s a windy day, don’t even think about starting a fire, even in a metal barrel. Keep in mind that in Ajax and Pickering, outdoor burning is prohibited. Outdoor-style fireplaces, for use on decks or in backyards, for example, while sold here, are not permitted. Smokers should also be vigilant about how they extin- guish their finished cigarettes. Far too often these butts are tossed from cars without a second thought. Meanwhile the embers are still hot and burning, posing a serious threat of fire. For those living near railway tracks, remember that in dry conditions sparks from a passing train can cause a fire. Fire crews will more than likely be called out as the sum- mer grows closer, but we can all do them a big favour by practising fire safety. It’s the right thing to do. Bring on the airport To the editor: Re: The Pickering airport issue. I am a real estate broker in the business since 1974. The airport is the ultimate good for Pickering and all of the region. I am completely for it for the following reasons: 1. I do not want a triple property tax increase and it will come if no airport. Money is the issue! 2. I want jobs for my children so that we can live in close proximity and be able to pay off their mortgages. 3. Cleaner air, less farming pesticide use. 4. More jobs for less-educated young people, which will cut crime and poverty. 5. More hospital money. The above are five big reasons. You must see the whole picture. Tina Mason Whitby Idea is to slow down traffic on Pickering Beach Road By Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com AJAX — A roundabout way of slowing down mo- torists on Pickering Beach Road is going to be con- structed this summer. Ajax has approved in- stalling two roundabouts on Pickering Beach, at the intersections of Dreyer Drive-Beachview Street, and at Foord Road-Rollo Drive. Juan Rojas, the Town’s capital projects co-ordina- tor, says the work is set to start July 2, after school is out, and be completed by Aug. 31, prior to the school year beginning. A total of $280,000 was included in the Town’s budget for the work. The project carries a $273,000 price tag, of which about 15 per cent, or just over $35,600, is a contingency to cover any issues that might arise. RoyalCrest Paving and Contracting Ltd. won the tender to do the work. Mr. Rojas is meeting with com- pany officials on June 15. “I’ll be asking for a con- struction staging plan. “I think they have to do one and then the other,” he adds. “It’s my experience it will be too congested to do both at the same time. Pickering Beach is a con- gested road.” Most of the work would start after the morning rush hour and be complet- ed before the evening rush hour, he says. “We’re taking out the curbs and putting in a circle. The centre island is a challenge,” Mr. Rojas notes. “There might be a decrease (in the number of lanes open), but we’re trying to avoid that. If we do the majority of the work during the off-peak hours, that would help.” He’s trying to set up a meeting with the principal of Carruthers Creek Com- munity School to discuss the roundabouts. Pam- phlets are being supplied to the school to be mailed out, he added. On the second day of school in September, a safety awareness assembly is held and the Town is try- ing to get on the agenda to discuss roundabout safety with the students. About 2,500 brochures have already been sent to residents living in the area of the roundabouts, show- ing how to travel in one. The pamphlet is also avail- able on the Town’s website, at www.townofajax.com. Also on the Town’s web- site is a link to the Regional Municipality of Waterloo site with an interactive animated display on how a motorist would use a roundabout. PICKERING 2215 Brock Rd.

The plans, approved fol- lowing a June 2006 fire which cost the Pickering school a port-a-pac, will be undertak- en by Tasis Contractors Inc. The Durham District School Board’s standing commit- tee approved awarding the renovation and addition to the lowest tender at its May 7 meeting. “The former port-a-pac that was on the site was there for 20 to 25 years and the people in that commu- nity are very excited about this addition,” said Pickering Trustee Sherry Croteau, who thanked the Vaughan Willard community for its patience. In September, the school board decided to replace the port-a-pac with a per- manent structure estimated at $2 million. Tasis Contrac- tors came in with the low- est acceptable bid at $2.66 million, although the total project cost is $3.1 million. The company also received an additional $27,000 tender to complete washroom and piping changes. Project costs for Vaughan Willard include $2.69 mil- lion for its construction con- tracts; $134,645 for a five per cent contingency; $260,000 for engineering fees and other soft costs; $14,160 for a building permit; $7,100 for equipment, and $59,280 for GST. It will be financed with money from capital re- serves, as well as $528,000 from Good Places to Learn funding and $435,750 from insurance money. Jack Massie, superinten- dent of facilities services, said the board previously estimated it would get $1 million from Good Places to Learn. The committee also approved using a fur- ther $654,335 from capital reserves, in addition to the $1.55 million from August. FRI., MAY 11TH TO SUN., MAY 13TH Selection will vary by store.

The work was originally scheduled to be completed by the end of June, but Heather Doucette notes it’s “already two weeks ahead of schedule.” Ms. Doucette, the Town’s capital proj- ects technologist, says the first phase goes from north of Hunt to the future Stonewood Street, or about 200 metres south of Hunt. The extended Commercial will run behind the Harwood Place Mall. Included in the first phase is a new inter- section at Commercial and Hunt. The rebuilt intersection will eliminate the small easterly jog on Commercial at Hunt. The work includes a sidewalk and street- lights on the east side of Commercial, Ms. Doucette states. Once work on the first phase is complete, motorists will be able to travel to or from Commercial and the mall parking lot at the rear of the mall. Ms. Doucette says it would be “like a driveway at the street.” The second phase should be done next year, if council approves the work. The sec- ond phase would also see a new intersection at Bayly Street and Kitney Drive. Just over $1.6 million was put into the To wn’s 2007 budget for the entire project. Money for the project is coming from devel- opment charges and reserves. Commercial will be 23-metres wide, which is the standard width for a two-lane street. Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Construction continues on the Commercial Avenue extension south of Hunt Street. Commercial expansion continues Patients will no longer need to travel out of region for care By Izabela Jaroszynski ijaroszynski@durhamregion.com DURHAM — After years of delays and months of construction, the R.S. McLaughlin Durham Regional Cancer Centre marked an important milestone this week. On May 7, patients walked through the doors to receive radiation therapy, mark- ing the first time the treatment was ever offered in Durham Region. “We’ve been waiting a long time for this day,” said Sharan Manship, manager of radiation therapy. The centre opened with two radiation treatment units and will add a third one in the next month. In total, the centre is equipped to hold up to seven units and the remaining units are expected to come on board in the next few years. Dr. Peter Dixon, the vice-president of cancer services, says approximately 60 patients will be treated every day at the three radiation units, which are already fully-staffed with radiation medicine pro- fessionals who have the knowledge and experience it takes to operate these state- of-the-art treatment units. “There’s no sense in having top-notch equipment if you don’t have the staff to run it,” he said. “But we have been very lucky in that regard.” Dr. Dixon says the biggest immediate benefit will be felt by the staff and patients who have been commuting to Sunnybrook Health Sciences in Toronto or the Cancer Centre of Southeastern Ontario in Kings- ton for radiation therapy. “It will make a huge difference for them,” he said. But the long-term benefit of having a cancer centre will be the ability for doc- tors to offer multi-disciplinary care to pa- tients within the confines of one facility. Although Lakeridge Health Oshawa has been offering care to oncol- ogy patients for decades, including chemotherapy treatments, the lack of a co-ordinated centre has meant patients had to go to other areas of the province for certain treatments or proce- dures. And it couldn’t have come fast enough. “The incidence of cancer in Durham is increasing rapidly,” Dr. Dixon said. “Not because a person’s chance of getting can- cer has increased, but because of the increasing population in the area and the aging population.” The centre is built to accommodate the growing population up to 2012 and it will have to be re-evaluated after that. Although the centre will primarily serve patients in the region, it will also provide treatment for outside areas. In total, ap- proximately one million people will use the centre annually. “People have been planning to build a cancer centre here since the early 90s,” Dr. Dixon said. After many delays and roadblocks, he says the centre is now “verging on real- ity.” The official grand opening of the Cancer Centre will be held on Wednesday, May 30, followed by the opening of the Chemo- therapy Clinic on June 4. A public open house of the centre is scheduled for Thursday, June 14 from 6 to 9 p.m. ÊÞÕÊ-ÕvviÀÊvÀÊÃiÛiÀiÊÞÕÊ-ÕvviÀÊvÀÊÃiÛiÀi iiÊÀÊ«Ê*>ÊvÀiiÊÀÊ«Ê*>ÊvÀ "ÃÌi>ÀÌÀÌÃ¶"ÃÌi>ÀÌÀÌÃ¶ ÊÞÕÊ-ÕvviÀÊvÀÊÃiÛiÀi iiÊÀÊ«Ê*>ÊvÀ "ÃÌi>ÀÌÀÌÃ¶ £nÇÇ-"7Ê£nÇÇÓÇx{È® ÜÜÜ°"*>/`>Þ°V 7iÊÊvÀÜ>À`ÊÌÊÃ«i>}ÊÜÌÊÞÕ° vÊÃ]ÊÞÕÊ>ÞÊµÕ>vÞÊvÀÊ>ÊvÊÃ]ÊÞÕÊ>ÞÊµÕ>vÞÊvÀÊ>Ê «ÀÌ>ÌÊÀiÃi>ÀVÊÃÌÕ`ÞÊ«ÀÌ>ÌÊÀiÃi>ÀVÊÃÌÕ`ÞÊ ÛÛ}Ê>ÊÛiÃÌ}>Ì>ÊÛÛ}Ê>ÊÛiÃÌ}>Ì>Ê «>Êi`V>Ì°ÊÊ«>Êi`V>Ì°ÊÊ *>ÀÌV«>ÌÃÊÕÃÌÊLiÊiÌiÀÊ*>ÀÌV«>ÌÃÊÕÃÌÊLiÊiÌiÀÊ Êii`ÊvÊÀÊ>Ü>Ì}ÊiiÊÊii`ÊvÊÀÊ>Ü>Ì}ÊiiÊ ÀÊ«ÊÀi«>ViiÌÊÃÕÀ}iÀÞ°ÀÊ«ÊÀi«>ViiÌÊÃÕÀ}iÀÞ° -ÌÕ`ÞÊ«>ÀÌV«>ÌÊ-ÌÕ`ÞÊ«>ÀÌV«>ÌÊ ÜÊ>ÃÌÊvÀÊÎÊÌÊÇÊÜiiÃ°ÜÊ>ÃÌÊvÀÊÎÊÌÊÇÊÜiiÃ° *>ÀÌV«>ÌÃÊÜÊÀiViÛiÊ>ÌÊ*>ÀÌV«>ÌÃÊÜÊÀiViÛiÊ>ÌÊ ÊVÃÌ]Ê«>Êi`V>Ì]ÊÊVÃÌ]Ê«>Êi`V>Ì]Ê >`ÊÃÌÕ`ÞÀi>Ìi`ÊV>Ài°ÊÊ>`ÊÃÌÕ`ÞÀi>Ìi`ÊV>Ài°ÊÊ >V>ÊÀiLÕÀÃiiÌÊ>V>ÊÀiLÕÀÃiiÌÊ ÜÊ>ÃÊLiÊ«ÀÛ`i`ÊvÀÊÜÊ>ÃÊLiÊ«ÀÛ`i`ÊvÀÊ ÃÌÕ`ÞÀi>Ìi`ÊiÝ«iÃiÃ°ÊÃÌÕ`ÞÀi>Ìi`ÊiÝ«iÃiÃ°Ê /Êv`ÊÕÌÊvÊÞÕÊµÕ>vÞÊ/Êv`ÊÕÌÊvÊÞÕÊµÕ>vÞÊ «i>ÃiÊV>\«i>ÃiÊV>\ vÊÃ]ÊÞÕÊ>ÞÊµÕ>vÞÊvÀÊ>Ê «ÀÌ>ÌÊÀiÃi>ÀVÊÃÌÕ`ÞÊ ÛÛ}Ê>ÊÛiÃÌ}>Ì>Ê «>Êi`V>Ì°ÊÊ *>ÀÌV«>ÌÃÊÕÃÌÊLiÊiÌiÀÊ Êii`ÊvÊÀÊ>Ü>Ì}ÊiiÊ ÀÊ«ÊÀi«>ViiÌÊÃÕÀ}iÀÞ° -ÌÕ`ÞÊ«>ÀÌV«>ÌÊ ÜÊ>ÃÌÊvÀÊÎÊÌÊÇÊÜiiÃ° *>ÀÌV«>ÌÃÊÜÊÀiViÛiÊ>ÌÊ ÊVÃÌ]Ê«>Êi`V>Ì]Ê >`ÊÃÌÕ`ÞÀi>Ìi`ÊV>Ài°ÊÊ >V>ÊÀiLÕÀÃiiÌÊ ÜÊ>ÃÊLiÊ«ÀÛ`i`ÊvÀÊ ÃÌÕ`ÞÀi>Ìi`ÊiÝ«iÃiÃ°Ê /Êv`ÊÕÌÊvÊÞÕÊµÕ>vÞÊ «i>ÃiÊV>\ Saint Elizabeth Health Care celebrates National Nursing Week In every role at every level – you will fi nd our nurses.

And, Ajax Fire and Emergency Ser- vices wants people to follow a few simple tips to stay safe this barbecuing season. “Propane and natural gas barbecues are safe and convenient if you main- tain them properly,” says Chief Randy Wilson. “However, every year people are injured needlessly while lighting their barbecues.” Prior to lighting the barbecue, test all connections and hoses for leaks by using a 50/50 solution of soap and water. Don’t use matches, lighters or flame to check for leaks. Clean everything thoroughly. Look for insect nests or spider webs, as clogged tubes can cause a fire. Replace worn and rusted parts, and old or corroded burners should be re- placed. Light matches or lighter before opening the valve. Always barbecue outside, in a well- ventilated area and away from win- dows and combustible surfaces. If you smell gas, immediately shut off the gas supply from the tank. Turn off the burner controls and extinguish any open flame. Open the grill lid to ventilate the gas. If the odour continues, contact your gas supplier or the fire department right away. Other things to remember include, when moving the propane cylinder, be sure the valves are closed and that it’s in the upright position. Keep children a safe distance away, as the barbecue surface is hot and can cause severe burns. Never leave a lit barbecue unattend- ed and after cooking, always turn off the barbecue and turn off the gas sup- ply valve. And, always follow the manufactur- er’s instructions before using or repair- ing your barbecue. For more information, call the Ajax fire prevention office at 905-683-7791.

Joseph Chaput recently re- turned from a trip to a German facility where he performed ra- dioactive experiments for his thesis, ‘Design and benchmark- ing of small-scale aerosol par- ticulate re-suspension in wind and mechanical stress fields’. “It’s a nice way to end my four years here,” said Mr. Chaput, a fourth-year Energy Systems and Nuclear Science undergraduate student at the University of On- tario Institute of Technology. Ed Waller, a UOIT associate professor, accompanied Mr. Cha- put as a colleague on the trip. “It’s an interesting project,” said Mr. Waller, who was in- volved in studying particle re- suspension even before joining the UOIT. He helped Mr. Chaput get a summer job with the department of national defence. The depart- ment contacted Mr. Waller with its desire to investigate the re- suspension of particles because they were one of the primary partners he did work with while in the industry. After Mr. Chaput’s summer job, the department invited him to continue his research through his thesis and gave him some funding, said Mr. Waller. Pro- grams available provided him with about $7,000 to help. In Germany, Mr. Chaput and Mr. Waller were able to safely spray radioactive aerosols in the facility and measure their levels. Mr. Chaput said the radioactive material was released and fans blew it around for 15 minutes. After an hour, the dust would settle and sensors measured the particulate left. He added they found some similar results to those recorded in the UOIT lab experiments, which used a non- radioactive substance. At school, he used a scale model facility and ground-up salt for the experiments. In the model, he had to judge how much con- taminate could be there based on the amount left because there was no radioactivity to measure. “It was nice to see them add up,” said Mr. Chaput. Real life scenarios the experi- ments could help with include dirty bombs - a nuclear substance surrounded by explosives, which contaminate a small area. Mr. Chaput said it helps them dis- cover how much area the bomb could have affected and where they need to worry about, so emergency response workers are not under-protected in an area, or overprotected, which would slow them down. When a radioactive cloud is around you it could contain very small participles you could breath in, then back out again, while bigger ones could stick in your airways, said Mr. Waller. “The mid-size ones are the worse,” said Mr. Waller and added those ones can get into your blood stream. Mr. Chaput also did some small, outdoor radioactive ex- periments in a military field through his summer job with de- fence research and development Canada. Mr. Waller said the project will benefit Ontario. “It will increase the knowledge about this for the actual depart- ment of national defence,” said Mr. Waller, and added the work is related to anti-terrorism. The UOIT also benefits from the experiments and partner- ship, said Mr. Waller. Since it’s contracting research, the school gets money for it and is able to provide a budget to hire students and equipment. It also helps strengthen ties with the organi- zation and provide real experi- ence to students. When he graduates this year, he already has a job with In- ternational Safety Research Inc. that he starts in June. The German experiments al- lowed him to travel internation- ally and see a German military base, which is where the experi- ments were performed, and meet other scientists.

One way to do this is with interlocking concrete pavers–a pavement type that is rapidly growing in popularity. Interlocking concrete pavers use high- strength, durable concrete units that interlock together to form a patterned surface which can be put into service immediately. Pavers are manufactured in various shapes, sizes, textures and colours. An important benefit of pavers is that they can be removed and reinstalled, which reduces future service interruptions and keeps replacement costs down. They are often used in walkways, patios, driveways, plazas and downtown renovations. Concrete pavers are available in a wide range of styles. For instance, one is crafted to resemble Roman paving stones. Pa ver units are often used in historic restoration projects, such as streets in historic areas. Since paver units are uniform in size, they offer a smoother ride and are easier to repair than their historic cobblestone counterparts. The popularity of pavers is expanding rapidly in Canada and the United States. There is plenty of growth remaining; in Europe there are about one metres squared of pavers installed per person annually, however, in North America it is not even one quarter metres squared per person. In the Netherlands most of the streets and sidewalks are pavers. Toronto, Ontario and Dayton, Ohio are two of many cities that have used concrete pavers in historic neighborhoods to enhance the area’s image and support the investment by residents in their homes. The ability to produce pavers in a wide variety of shapes and colours makes it possible to use them in colourful, attention- grabbing ways that can add to the character of a home. For example, Overtown, Florida created an urban park that used pavers in patterns and colours taken from Kente Cloth, a type of weaving from North Africa. To learn more about using concrete pavers in a patio or driveway and to see idea photos, visit the website of the Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute at www.icpi.org.

All the rage today for example is the designer kitchen sink, the aesthetic toilet, the oversize ‘rainforest’ shower rooms - and most recently, those full-size, front-loading laundry systems that give us professional care with eye-catching, stainless-steel drums. “That laundry pair is sleek – and high- tech too,” says Jan Heck, president of Miele Canada, a world leader in innovative appliance designs. “The washing machine drum is the most important feature for protecting our clothes. “Most households need to clean a diverse range of fabrics, all requiring different and sometimes very special treatment,” he said. “So it might come as a surprise to learn that with the latest Touchtronic technology, most of it – even silk and cashmere – can be machine-washed, making laundry day a breeze!” The newest honeycomb-style drum reduces fabric deterioration, Heck explained. It operates with a constant cushion of water between the fabric and the drum. “Much of the wear-and-tear of clothing comes from the contact it makes with the interior of the drum,” Heck explains. “Friction is reduced by keeping a layer of water between your clothing and the drum – resulting in less pulling and premature wear of your garments.” The system cuts costs too. With more speciality cycles to clean delicate fabrics that are usually dry cleaned, each program on the Touchtronic washer (miele.ca) can be customized to the desired fabric. State-of-the-art controls allow you to quickly and easily select a cycle that will automatically adjust the water, the temperature, and the soak-and-spin speeds. “A f ter washing,” Heck says, “the matched tumble dryer, delivers a wide range of sensor controlled drying programs with a variety of temperatures to prevent overheating of fabrics. The durability of this Full-Size Laundry Pair is more than 5,000 cycles which is equivalent to a 20-year life expectancy.” Upgrading the kitchen sink: what to look for in a quality sink (NC)-When selecting a stainless steel kitchen sink, the differences between a lower cost and a premium sink are not always obvi- ous. There may be some apparent aesthetic differences but other features or benefits will affect longevity, durability and functionality. Some features to look for when shopping for a quality kitchen sink: 1. Gauge. The gauge of the stainless steel refers to its thickness. The thicker the steel, the stronger it is. However this can be confusing to buyers unless you remember that the higher the gauge, the thinner the stainless steel. A premium quality stainless steel sink will be 18 gauge while the more economical variety is 20 or 22 gauge. 2. Chrome-nickel content. Look for 18/10 chrome nickel content. That means the stain- less steel is composed of 18 per cent chrome for lustre, durability and protection from cor- rosion, and 10 per cent nickel for hardness and strength. 3. Design details. Premium sinks offer many design details that are both stylish and practi- cal. Look for recessed sink rims around the bowls to prevent water from spilling over onto the counter. Blanco drop-in sinks also feature slanted outside edges to prevent dirt from being trapped and a deep inside-edge profile to eliminate spillovers. Their versatile designs include a flat rim around the edge of the sink so that any of the drop-in sink models can be under-mounted if desired. 4. Bowl capacity. Deep, spacious bowls ac- commodate large kitchen items such as pots, cookie trays and large bowls. Straight sides and tight-radius corners in the bowls further add to bowl capacity. 5. Rear-positioned drain holes. Blanco sinks all feature rear-positioned drain holes, which allow more space under the counter for storage as well as more usable bowl space. 6. Finish. It may not be apparent at first glance but there are differences in the surface finish of stainless steel sinks across different manufacturers. Blanco offers a unique “brushed satin finish” which has a lighter, softer and more lustrous appearance look than the more commonplace, harsher finishes available.

He prides his company on fast, neat and efficient service. He also prides himself on his troubleshooting ability. “I like to professionally solve prob- lems at the lowest, most reasonable cost to the customer,” he says. “Sometimes that may involve excavating the entire perimeter of the house and replacing the weeping tiles, but that’s because it’s absolutely necessary.” Gordon adds “An interior weeping tile system with drain- age board can be extremly efficient and cost effective by saving costly damages to exterior landscaping.” “Homeowners should invest in their foundations,” Gordons says “Water cor- rodes and people tend to live with the problem until it escalates into a bigger one. Catch it early enough and you could possibly save yourself a fortune.” “No job is too big or small” he says, adding he will promise you a fair and objective evaluation of the problem.

The musical comedy is set in ancient Rome, two hundred years BCE, on a balmy day in May. It is loosely based on the com- edies of Plautus, the very first professional playwright. Turns out that what made ancient Romans laugh makes us laugh too, as writ- ers Larry Gelbart (M*A*S*H), Burt Shevelove and Stephen Sondheim found out when their play hit the stage in May 1962. With a set of stock characters, some catchy tunes and colourful costumes, A Funny Thing offers laughs via mistaken identities, role reversals, a conniving slave and clumsy eu- nuchs. There’s the empty-headed courtesan, the browbeaten husband, overbearing wife, lovesick and broke would-be lover, money- loving pimp, menacing army captain and crafty slave. And the bevy of scantily-clad courtesans. Hero loves a young courtesan who has already been bought by the captain. In love and insolvent, Hero turns to Pseudolus, the family slave, to get the girl. The wily slave, who bears the name of the main character in one of Plautus’s plays, comes up with a wacky scheme to win the girl for Hero, while out- witting the captain and the pimp and hope- fully gaining his freedom. Slapstick, farce and vaudeville are all mixed into the play. As the song goes, “tragedy tomorrow, com- edy tonight.” “It is a really popular play although it will be considered politically incorrect today,” said director Monique Essegern. “But it’s comedy and what are you going to do?” Laugh, no doubt. In rehearsal since February, the cast of 18 has been eager for an audience, she said. “I am really lucky to have a really strong group of comic actors,” she said, adding each of them has made sacrifices in order to be part of the cast. She added many of the cast have vocal training and others have dance experience. “I’m pleased with the choreography we’ve got in the show,” Essegern said. She’s also pleased with the approximately 30 costumes for the play, designed and sewn by Kelly Curran, who’s been working since March. “It’s a one-woman show,” Essegern said. Curran said she watched the TV series Rome and other similar programs and then just added colour, adding authenticity isn’t ter- ribly important in a comedy written in the 1960s about ancient Rome. While Curran has designed costumes be- fore, it’s her first attempt at theatre work. “This is a major adventure,” she said. “It’s been morning, noon and night.” Playing the part of Pseudolous is David Cardinal, making his debut with Whitby Courthouse Theatre, although he’s appeared in many musicals and comedies before.

The new site, a sister to www. durhamregion.com, launched last weekend. While durhamregion.com had previously had a movie area, “it didn’t quite have all the features we were looking for,” said web de- veloper Chris Creamer. So, “instead of just improving the site, we decided to scrap it and start from scratch.” A new listings company is being used to provide the movie info and the improved website currently in- cludes movie listings and show times for theatres in Durham, Nor- thumberland and Scarborough, along with an array of new user- friendly features. Now, users can easily view movie trailers, actor and director biogra- phies, as well as listings of movies on video and coming soon. It is anticipated the site will also soon feature photo galleries, said Mr. Creamer. Development of the new site took a “couple of months,” start- ing with building the framework, then actual design, with graphics largely being completed by Allison Gay. It was then on to coding, testing and the launch, which happened last weekend. “O n Sunday, our traffic doubled over the previous Sunday,” said Mr. Creamer. He attributes much of the in- crease to regular users finding and taking advantage of the new fea- tures. Eventually, listings from further afield could be listed, said the web developer. “We could expand to Belleville or points east,” he said. “It could be expanded to provide listings to any other region.” The new site is a major improve- ment over durhamregion.com’s previous movie listings, which were “pretty bare bones,” said Mr. Creamer.

Rather, the Ontario Hockey League awarded the major junior national championship tournament to the Kitchener Rangers. The Oshawa Generals were considered by many to be the favourites among the five Ontario Hockey League bid teams, thanks to the new $45-million General Motors Centre and the presence of 16-year- old superstar John Tavares. But, the Rangers also had a strong bid and had promised a $1.8- million profit for the OHL. The London Knights, Sarnia Sting and Saginaw Spirit were the other teams that made formal bid presentations last month. Monarchs best on the rink St. Mary teams complete rare triple in high school hockey By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com PICKERING — Until next sea- son, the St. Mary Catholic Second- ary School Monarchs are the toast of Durham Region high school hockey. The St. Mary hockey teams com- pleted a rare trifecta in Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) play this past season, with the Mon- archs senior and junior boys’ teams and the varsity girls’ squad winning LOSSA championships. To w in one LOSSA title in one sport is an achievement; to have all three school teams capture hockey crowns in the same season is some- thing altogether special, says Mon- archs’ senior boys’ head coach Mike Dion. “I don’t think we’ve ever had this happen before. Usually we had one team fall short, so this is the first time ever within LOSSA,” says Dion. If there’s a common denomina- tor to St. Mary’s uncommon success on the rink this year, Dion notes it’s all about the hockey program itself, which has, over the years, asserted itself as the among the best in the province. He points out the senior boys’ program has won LOSSA titles in three of the past four years. At the Ontario Federation of School Ath- letic Associations (OFSAA) play- downs, the Monarchs’ seniors have three top-eight finishes. “I think the program has set itself now as one of the top in the prov- ince. We have a base of older kids who, when they graduate, tell the younger kids to come to the school. It’s politics-free and that’s why the kids really love it. It’s parents-free and politics-free and the schedule and training program we have rivals any minor program out there,” says Dion, who coaches the team with Antonio Morra. Dion adds the St. Mary adminis- tration is a big booster of hockey at all levels in the school, which has also helped put the school on the provincial hockey map. “The administration is very sup- portive and that’s a huge factor,” says Dion. After completing a 7-0-3 regu- lar season, the St. Mary Monarchs senior boys’ squad swept the Dun- barton High School Spartans in the LOSSA final series to earn their third LOSSA championship in four years. The seventh seed at the Ontario Federation of School Athletic As- sociations (OFSAA) champion- ships, hosted in Durham Region in March, the Monarchs dropped a heartbreaking 2-1 overtime deci- sion to the Brother Andre Cardinals of Markham in the quarter-finals. Meanwhile, the St. Mary varsity girls’ team has enjoyed unrivalled success at both the regional and provincial level over the years. The Monarchs finished a dynamic season, wresting the LOSSA title away from the Uxbridge Secondary School Tigers. At OFSAA, the Monarch girls achieved two gold and two silver medals in the last four years, in- cluding a silver medal at the 2007 championships in Ottawa. Monarchs’ co-coach Anne Ma- honey notes the varsity girls’ team draws from a strong Durham West Girls’ Hockey League program that’s also among the best in the province. St. Mary has a good work- ing relationship with the DWGHL. In fact, the Monarchs’ head coach, Dino Caggiula, also serves as the coach of the Durham West midget ‘A A’ team. “The girls’ hockey within Dur- ham is so strong. We were able to bring in an excellent coach in Dino (Caggiula), who has girls’ hockey experience with the Durham Light- ning (midgets), which is a really strong team,” says Mahoney. The St. Mary junior boys’ squad put the cap on a perfect LOSSA run by Monarchs’ hockey squads after winning its second consecu- tive LOSSA title. The Monarchs’ ju- niors beat Pickering rival Pine Ridge Secondary School Pumas in two straight games in the final. In addition to the LOSSA crown, the St. Mary juniors captured the first Pine Ridge Invitational Tourna- ment title as well as winning their own Brian English Memorial Tour- nament crown. St. Mary coach Shayne MacDon- ald notes when you bring together strong athletes and committed coaches who are dedicated to a pro- gram, winning generally follows. “I think it comes down to coaches getting in there that know the game,” says MacDonald, who’s aided on the bench by Breen O’Connor and Brian Chen. “The school has great athletes and when you combine coaching with enthusiasm, winning starts and it becomes a tradition. I think it’s a tradition now -- St. Mary is a good hockey school.” AJ Groen /News Advertiser photo St. Mary Catholic Secondary School Monarchs hockey teams all won Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) championships, a rare feat among Durham Region secondary schools. Representing their respective teams are captains Chris Paul, left (senior boys), Brendan Wetering (junior boys) and Erin Small (varsity girls).

The competition was held on April 16 and 17 as part of the WEAO technical symposium and Ontario Pollution Con- trol Equipment Association exhibition. The challenge included five events: pro- cess control; laboratory; safety; pump maintenance; and collection systems. “These are all things that they would typically do in their job,” explained Mr. Presta. “Each separate event is timed and there is a technical exam event where they sit down and answer ques- tions.” On top of their win, the chal- lenge offered team Sludge Hammers, Craig Belfry, Craig Dignard, Noah Dor- land, Wade Hunt and Coach Jeff Lang, a chance to display their talents and discuss workplace issues. The victory sends the Sludge Ham- mers to represent Ontario against the best in the United States and Canada at the Water Environment Federation Conference in San Diego, this fall. durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 42 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, May 11, 2007 728 ANDERSON STREET, WHITBY | 905.666.5117 | www.mdaesthetics.ca Sweat? No Sweat...Dr. Charles Copeland iontophoresis (a procedure which uses a galvanic current device) drugs such as glycopyrolate, surgery (permanent removal of the sweat glands or sympathectomy), and Botox® injections. Growing in popularity, therapeutic Botox® is extremely effective for this condition. It can be injected into the skin to help stop sweating. Botox® treats HH by interrupting the chemical messages released by nerve endings that signal the sweat glands to begin producing sweat. Sweating is therefore “switched off” in the area temporarily. For underarm sweating patients are treated about once a year and slightly more frequently for hand sweating. Most people with Hyperhidrosis struggle with the social aspect of the condition and are usually extremely satisfi ed with treatment. The good news is that this is a Health Canada approved treatment therefore the Botox® prescription is covered by most drug plans. For more information see the International Hyperhidrosis Society website at www. sweathelp.org or www.sweatmanagement.ca For most people with Hyperhidrosis, successful treatment is life changing, allow ing normal socialization and work performance usually taken for granted by others. Dr.Charles Copeland practices cosmetic medicine at MD Aesthetics and is a member of the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery. Do you change your shirt or blouse more than once a day because you sweat too much? Do you choose dark colours, wear layers or leave your jacket on to conceal your problem? You may be one of the estimated 950,000 Canadians who suffer from Primary Hyperhidrosis (HH). Hyperhidrosis is the medical term for sweating. There are two kinds of hyperhidrosis, generalized and focal. Generalized is often a symptom of other medical conditions, including anxiety disorders, thyroid problems, nerve damage, menopause, medication and more. Focal Hyperhidrosis is localized sweating from certain parts of the body (palms, face, feet and armpits) and has no known cause. Primary or Focal Hyperhidrosis, although a common problem affecting approximately 2.8% of the population, often goes untreated. The disorder starts at puberty or in the early 20’s and often runs in families. Sufferers go to extreme lengths to conceal and manage their problem. People with palm sweating avoid social situations for fear of having to shake hands and sometimes avoid certain types of occupations due to embarrassment. Hyperhidrosis is more than just a mild nuisance, it is very debilitating and most suffer in silence. Primary hyperhidrosis has varying degrees of severity and several treatment options: aluminum chloride containing solutions, THINGS T O D O : TO ADVERTISE CALL (905) 426-4676 Find this and m o r e o n t h e a l l n e w durhampar e n t . c o m Learn ho w t o p a c k a g r e e n p i c n i c Find out h o w t o r a i s e a c h i l d a c t i v i s t Break t h e g o o d m o m m y t h Deal wit h y o u r t a t t l e r Uncover t h e t r u t h a b o u t c o l d s Discover t h e r e g i o n ’ s b e s t restauran t s f o r f a m i l i e s InsuranceHotline.com AUTOMOBILE • MOTORCYCLE • MARINE • HOME LIFE • HEALTH • TRAVEL • COMMERCIAL Instantly compare what you’re paying to over 30 other insurance company rates.
